Pls excuse my ****** grammar.



I've been experiencing a bit of lower back pain. I barely rode my bike (Ridley Kanzo Fast) thru the winter; some rides here and there but mostly didnt ride. I was doing some swimming instead. Trying to do about 3 days a week solid swim workouts.



So I began to ride again in late March or so and have been riding a good 8-10 hours a week or from 100-150km per week. I usually ride around 5 days a week. I climb a bit for each ride from 150meters up to maybe 400m, depending on the ride. So here and there in the last month or so I'm noticing some sporadic back pain (slight) or discomfort. Not while riding BTW. Usually off the bike. I do a bunch of stretching daily and try and do some core stuff but I'm pretty lazy on that one.



BTW, I'm a 52 year old guy, about 80 kilos and 183cm tall. I've NOT been fitted to this bike (bought in May 2024). I did quite a lot of riding from May of last year til late fall and never remember having this issue.



Some days I have some pain and other days zero. I figured I really dont ride enough to have these types of issues or really need a bike fit since I figured that's for someone riding a lot more. Maybe I'm wrong? And why no issues last year or all of April this year?



Thoughts? Thanks!
